Re: Professional courses

You are probably overthinking this. Caseworkers will have come across this situation before. Simply prepare your bundle and be sure to explain the situation, in a skeleton argument if you will; their lordships will surely intimate if they wish to hear more than a brief summary of the facts. I rest ...

Professional courses

I own another thread here (and that still hasn't been resolved) but thought I should make a new one for this topic as it is quite different. If the course I'm undertaking is a professional course (i.e. the BPTC, a compulsory course to become a barrister), and I already have a job waiting (pupillage)...

Re: Any kind souls please help - UK Tier 4 Extension

This is starting to get hilarious as I am financially sponsored, have enough personal funds for maintenance, have a job waiting and am almost halfway through my course. It doesn't seem to be about your funds or academic progress, but some other unknown aspect of your personal or immigration history...

Re: Any kind souls please help - UK Tier 4 Extension

Update (or rather, the lack of one): My documents have been with UKVI for what seems like forever. I have not been offered an interview date yet. My university has contacted UKVI and they cannot provide an answer better than the contact line's. This is starting to get hilarious as I am financially s...

Re: Any kind souls please help - UK Tier 4 Extension

10 weeks in and not even an interview date. Not sure how to deal with this. Speak to the International Student Adviser at your university. They will know the current processing times, and if necessary liaise with the Home Office. Thanks sah, have done that over the weeks and we are all scratching o...

Tier 4 extension and new app. here please

Hi guys, this is directed towards anyone who has had to go for an interview: I received an email last week stating that they were unable to process my visa within 8 weeks because they needed to interview me. However, they did not provide any interview details at all. Has anyone got the same email? W...

Re: Any kind souls please help - UK Tier 4 Extension

Thank you for this! In that thread they were saying a second interview is significant cause for concern; is that the same for a first interview? I do understand that you probably cannot provide every single answer under the stars but thought I'd try asking. Thanks once again! Yep, I don't know. Sug...
